Im currently playing as USSR, I've strickly used battle theater/zone AI 98% of the time, the same way I did in HO3.
Unfortunatley, it's awful. I've managed to conquer France, now as my territory widens, the less units it contributes to attacks despite the zone control being set to "none". I'm attempting to conquer Italy, and my minister sends a couple units periodically to be shot up by enemy aircraft/naval forces/land forces one at a time like a slow assembly line.
Every battle zone is set to NONE except for the targeted territories I'm trying to conquer, and the surrounding territories. Despite this, I have hundreds and thousands of soldiers milling around the center of the USSR! The aircraft don't even base at airfields closest to the combat. So I have a massive airforce, flying around the center of the USSR while enemy fighters are smothering my few attacking units my minister decides to send!
I purchased this hoping I could depend on theater/zone battle control to the AI, since HO3 did so well.
Am I doing something wrong?
